Less than six years after changing the music landscape with its self-titled debut, Van Halen repeated the enormous feat. Certified ten-times-platinum by RIAA, graced by three immensely popular singles, and adorned with iconic artwork, 1984 witnesses the band expanding the synthesizer elements introduced on several prior albums and seamlessly bridging its pop and metal sensibilities into a cohesive melodic whole. Punchy and catchy, glamorous and glitzy, blustery and heavy, wild and pyrotechnic, fast and fun, 1984 is David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen hitting on all cylinders. Do not wait to get this landmark on Mobile Fidelity numbered-edition hybrid SACD, mastered from the original analog master tapes for definitive sound.

Billy Joel – An Innocent Man – MoFi SACD
Infectious Doo-Wop, Carefree Soul, Harmonious Pop A Testament To Music Of Joel's Childhood
After making The Nylon Curtain, Billy Joel felt the need to exhale and get back to the carefree music of his childhood. He also met supermodel Christie Brinkley, who brought serious degrees of levity and romance to his world. In love, relaxed, and out to have fun, the singer crafted An Innocent Man, arguably the most easygoing and pleasing album of his career. Featuring four Top 40 pop singles and the same number of Top 5 Adult Contemporary hits to grace the Billboard charts, the record remains a commercial staple.
Bob Dylan – Good As I Been To You – MOBILE FIDELITY SACD
A Visionary Survey of American Music and its Vast Landscapes: Tours Swing, Blues, Country, Folk, and Vaudeville En Route to Becoming a Roots-Rock Landmark
Bob Dylan’s Love and Theft is a visionary train ride through the vast American landscape and all its hills, valleys, mountains, river towns, and urban and rural settlements. As they burrow into villages and barrel across trestle bridges, the 2001 record’s songs introduce us to outlaws, outliers, gamblers, brawlers, tricksters, bootleggers, and scoundrels. It is, in effect, a commanding survey of and plunge into American music. Named the best album of the year by Rolling Stone and the Village Voice‘s Pazz & Jop Critics Poll, anointed the second-best album of the decade by Newsweek, and later declared the 385th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, Love and Theft remains the Nobel Laureate’s finest effort since 1975’s Blood on the Tracks – and an extension of the jesting, imagery, and free-form looseness present on his seminal 1960s works. Now, it possess knock-out sound.
Cannonball Adderley – Somethin’ Else – Mofi SACD
Sourced From The Original Analog Master Tapes: Hybrid Sacd Presents 1958 Landmark In Definitive Sound
Julian Cannonball Adderley's only Blue Note album, Somethin' Else, would likely forever be famous in music lore if just for the presence of Miles Davis. The iconic composer/trumpeter steps into the role of sideman on the 1958 set, one of just a handful of times he'd make such a move after the calendar passed the mid-1950s. Yet evaluating Somethin' Else strictly on Davis' involvement misses the big picture. Plain and simple, Adderley's jubilant work remains a jazz landmark due to the chemistry of its Hall of Fame personnel, enthusiasm of its participants, and sophistication of its arrangements – not to mention the reference-grade production and inclusion of the definitive renditions of two jazz standards.
